The new app enhances the Care & Respond platform, focusing on young working adults (16-24) to improve mental wellbeing, resilience, and job engagement. It creates a 360-degree support network, connecting users with friends, family, employers, and professionals to foster open communication and timely intervention. The app offers secure information sharing, real-time guidance and personalized support, ensuring users receive the right help when needed. By promoting shared understanding and proactive well-being strategies, it empowers young employees to manage challenges effectively, stay engaged in their roles, and develop essential mental health skills for long-term success in both work and life.

Optellum’s Virtual Nodule Clinic uses machine learning trained on thousands of CT scans to assign malignancy risk scores to indeterminate lung nodules, supporting earlier, more confident clinical decisions. Intuitive’s ION system is a robotic-assisted bronchoscopy platform with ultra-thin, shape-sensing technology that enables precise, minimally invasive access to nodules as small as 6mm. Used together, these technologies offer a powerful integration of artificial intelligence and robotics to enhance lung cancer diagnostics, particularly in the context of rising detection rates from national screening.

Appt Health is a digital platform that automates and personalises patient outreach to increase uptake in preventive care. In partnership with Imperial College London and seven Cancer Alliances, this NHS-funded project aims to improve cervical and lung cancer screening rates—particularly among underserved groups with historically lower attendance. The platform identifies eligible patients through integrated clinical systems, then sends tailored, behaviourally informed messages designed with local communities. By addressing barriers such as language, digital access, and awareness, Appt Health simplifies the booking process and supports earlier cancer diagnosis, helping practices reduce inequalities and meet national screening targets more effectively.
